Re: What's in a name?
Actually, I'm whining about two other members being suspended for 24 hours for doing the same thing you did without suspension.
I have no problem with what you posted. I have no issues with you posting a response to someone else's summary.
Let a thousand flowers bloom--I don't in general support restrictions on anyone's speech. Nor did I voice any criticism of your post in my query to the admins above. I don't object to you criticizing my summary in that thread: fine, whatever.
My objection is not to what you said or how and where you said it.
My objection is to the inconsistent ruling by a moderator.

Re: Hooah Unbanned

Adminnemooseus is usually responsive to requests for clemency or commutation...
Does this mean that hooah is a clementine or a commutist?

That's it? How do I distinguish his uncouthness from yours?
Did you ban hooah just for his OP and follow-up query, or did I miss something else?

Everybody
Everybody has bad days.
Sometimes it's best to just stop.

At the cited topic, there are currently 1739 messages, of which 174 are from Admin. He is third on the post number list.
And it's been a long time since a mod here tried to enforce the rigors of scientific debate on a creationist debater in our science threads.
Past damned time.

So, I'd favor being a little lax in the science threads.
Agreed.
But "a little" is a lot less than the laxity that generally prevails for creationists here, and Faith seems able to take the heat.
I like Faith's feistiness and command of the language. She is capable of writing with grace and wit--she is also capable of following the clear standards of scientific debate. If she is not held to that standard, then we are merely improving her vocabulary and ability to obfuscate.
